PRS (Precision racing systems) has almost any size and pitch pinion or spur you would ever need.

I am running and xray 008/9 with a 25.5 and looking for a tips on the spur I should run and still have access to the motor screw. Target final ratio is in the range of 3.5 - 3.8 with a transmission ratio of 1.7.

Xray offers a 92, that would leave me running a pinion between 45 and 41. I am not sure it will fit/reach.

Xray also offers a 96 that would leave me running pinions between 43 and 47. Not sure if a 47 will fit?

RW offers any possible size all the way down to whatever, but even with the holes I don't think I will be able to get the motor screws in.

Thoughts?
